Leonardo DiCaprio's net worth will make your jaw drop
'Kay, so I think we all knew that Leonardo DiCaprio was rich, but the man is truly sitting on an absolute fortune. Like, he has even more (way more!) money than Kris Jenner — which actually makes sense considering Leo's movies have earned billions worldwide, his real estate investments have made a killing, and he owns a private island. If you're feeling emotionally stable enough to read all about how rich someone else is (couldn't be me!), we're about dive into how Leo accrued his massive net worth. And to give you a little taste of what's to come, Forbes says Leo made a casual $29 million in the year 2015 alone, which is equal to the entire net worths of some of the celebs we've researched. Just saying! Here's the thing: Actors get one giant paycheck for starring in a movie, but they *also* get residuals (or backend points)...which is exactly how Leo made so much from Titanic. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Leo technically got $2.5 million for the movie, but due to a 1.8 percent cut of backend profits, he earned another $40 million. I repeat: $40 MILLION.

Some other major salary moments? Before Titanic, Leo was making around $1 million per movie. But after Titanic became a cultural sensation, Leo's rate went up. Like, he got $10 million for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (per Variety), and Celebrity Net Worth reports that he got $20 million for a string of movies including The Beach, Catch Me If You Can, The Departed, Blood Diamond, and The Aviator.
And then there's The Wolf of Wall Street, which earned Leo $25 million upfront according to The Hollywood Reporter.
